【题目】A drunken burglar（盗贼） in the Orrel Park area of Liverpool, ended up leaping out of a window after a 10-year-old girl asked him to prove he was a superhero.

The drunken thief who pretended he was Superman to stop a child raising the alarm has been caught after he leapt from the apartment building in his pants to make the girl convinced.

Thief Ethan Adamson, 25, told police that he had broken into a fifth-floor flat after a drinking session(酒会), believing it was empty.

But he was horrified when the owner’s 10-year-old daughter woke up while he was there.

From his hospital bed, the thief told reporters, “To keep her quiet, I told her I was really Superman and I’d soon be flying off back to my secret headquarters.”

“She called my bluff (虚张声势) and told me, “If you’re Superman, show me you can fly or I’ll scream”.

“I had no choice so I stripped to my pants to look more like a superhero and went to the window. I saw another roof below and I thought I could make it but it turned out to be a lot further down than thought. I know it doesn’t make sense but it did to me when I was drunk.”

Police later found him on the roof in just his yellow pants, covered in cuts and bruises after a baffled neighbor heard his cries of pain.

He now faces seven years behind bars for burglary.

Police spokesman Frank Amado said, “He was in quite a serious state and couldn’t move until we got up there using ladders. He was treated for his injuries and we got him some fresh clothes, before taking him to hospital where he is being kept under guard until he is well enough to be arrested.”

Dear Mr．Green，

I’m very exciting to learn that you will start a magazine together．That sounds great and I definitely agree you on that．

Some of the columns you mention in the letter are really my cup of tea．“Cultural Express”give us a better understanding of the world．Since people from different part of the world have different values，it’s necessary to learn from each another．Besides，it is pretty good for Chinese students to learn English idioms and improving oral English．

“Entertainment”is also cool! The popular singers，actors or celebrities are so attractively that you absolutely can’t miss this part．Teenagers are to fond of popular things，too．

Well，I really can’t wait to read this magazine．

Yours，

Li Ming

【题目】Do you find it hard to memorize words? You must not be the only one. It could be 【1】(help) if you say the words aloud. But this often isn’t good in a quiet classroom.

Now, researchers from the University of Waterloo, Canada, have come up 【2】a new idea. They suggest 【3】(draw) a picture of what you are trying to memorize!

The researchers did a study 【4】(base) on the idea. They first gave a group of students some words such as “apple” or “balloon”. Then they gave the students 40 seconds, during 【5】the students could either write the words again and again, or draw a picture.

When the time 【6】(be) over, the researchers asked the students to do something else, like sing a song. After that, they gave the students 60 seconds to write down as many words 【7】they could remember. The results showed that those who drew the words did a much 【8】(good) job than those who wrote them.

So the next time you are having a hard time memorizing a word, 【9】(draw) it! No worries if you’re not good at drawing. The 【10】(research) say the quality of the drawing doesn’t matter at all.

【题目】The “melting pot” in American cuisine(菜肴。烹饪法) is a myth, not terribly unlike the idea of a melting pot of American culture, notes chef Dan Barber. “Most cultures don’t think about their cuisine in such monolithic(统一的) terms,” he says. “French, Mexican, Chinese, and Italian cuisines each consist of dozens of distinct regional foods. And I think ‘American’ cuisine is moving in the same direction, becoming more localized, not globalized. ”

American cuisine is shaped by the natural wealth of the country. Having never faced agricultural hardship, Americans don’t have to rely on rotating crops, such as the Japanese, whose food culture now showcases buckwheat (荞麦) alongside rice, or the Indians, or the French and Italians, who feature beans alongside wheat. “That kind of negotiation with the land forced people to incorporate(接受) those crops in to the culture,” says Barber. And so eating soba noodles becomes part of what it means to be Japanese, and eating beans becomes part of what it means to be French.

So if what we eat is what we are, what are Americans? Well, meat. “If Americans have any unifying food identity, I would say we are a mostly white meat culture,” says Barber. “The protein-centric dinner plate, whether you’re talking about a boneless chicken breast, or a 16-ounce steak, as an everyday expectation is something that America really created, and now exports to the rest of the world.”

Every single culture and religion uses food as part of their celebrations, says Ellen Gustafson, co-founder of the FEED Project and The 30 Project, which aims to deal with both hunger and overweight issues globally. “The celebratory nature of food is universal. Every season, every harvest, and every holiday has its own food, and this is true in America as well. It helps define us.”

【1】According to the first paragraph, American cuisine ________.

A. consists of varieties of regional foods

B. is becoming more and more globalized

C. has absorbed a lot from Chinese cuisine

D. is not as unified as its culture

【2】What has made American cuisine different from other cuisines according to the article?

A. Relying on rotating crops

B. The difficulty of planting crops

C. The US’ melting pot culture

D. The US’ agricultural wealth

【3】We can conclude from the article that _____ has become part of what it means to be American.

A. eating rice B. eating beans

C. eating white meat D. eating soba noodles

【4】 Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the article?

A. American cuisine is healthier than other cuisines.

B. American cuisine hasn’t changed much over time.

C. Americans use food as part of their celebrations.

D. Americans are quite proud of their own cuisine.
